8: Katelyn's nursery was filled with Winnie the Pooh and Friends. The shelves that stretched around the room held special memorabilia from days gone by. | When I'm feeling down and don't know what to do. I take a look around and grab my buddy, Pooh. I hold him in my arms, snuggle him nice and tight. He keeps me from harm and takes away my fright. Pooh is my best friend. He is with me in times of doubt. He'll be with me until the end, and that's one thing I never worry about.

10: There's a smile the world has never seen, Just waiting to be shared. There's a song the world has never heard, Just waiting to be sung. There's a heart the world has never known, Just waiting to be loved.
